Job 24:7-8

Biblical Context

The text presents the naked and unprotected exposed to cold and rain, lacking clothing or shelter. It calls attention to vulnerability and the demand for dignity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Job's stark image, the exposed are not merely bodies but states of consciousness neglected by a hard world. Neville's reading sees the nakedness as the soul stripped of true awareness—an inner climate of coldness where imagination has not yet clothed the I AM presence. If you feel the cold of neglect, you are inviting a correction of your inner state. The 'they' and the 'mountains' are not others but the weather of your own mind; you clothe them by turning to the I AM, the awareness that never leaves you uncovered. To restore justice within, assume the feeling that you already possess the shelter of God’s awareness; let the rain cleanse, not crush. In this interior revision, the one who is naked becomes the one who knows there is always a covering—your consciousness as the rock and shelter you lean upon. Remember: imagination creates reality, and the shelter you seek is already built by your I AM. Practice dwelling there until the outer scene mirrors your inner attire.
